Industry ranking
KAPLAN FINANCIAL LIMITED exhibits a consistent trend of delayed payments, with an average payment time of 55 days, significantly exceeding typical 30-day terms. While 55% of payments are made within 30 days, a concerning 45% are paid later, with 14% extending beyond 60 days. The high 83% late payment rate confirms a consistent pattern of not adhering to standard payment schedules.
The payment reliability of KAPLAN FINANCIAL LIMITED is low, evidenced by 83% of payments being categorized as late, making cash flow forecasting challenging. Despite a majority paying within 30 days, the significant proportion of payments stretching beyond 60 days introduces considerable unpredictability into revenue cycles. This inconsistency elevates the risk of extended working capital requirements for suppliers.
Overall, KAPLAN FINANCIAL LIMITED presents a moderate-to-high payment risk due to its extended average payment time and high late payment percentage. Suppliers should anticipate an average payment period of 55 days and factor in the potential for 14% of invoices to exceed 60 days when evaluating credit terms. Risk mitigation could include establishing stricter payment terms, negotiating upfront deposits, or implementing dynamic discounting for early payment incentives.
